Flag Speciale beer from Morocco: not as boring as it looks
Flag Speciale beer
Morocco
Flag Speciale came in a rather unassuming (or perhaps boring would be more appropriate) 25cl can – the kind of quantity that would be classed as a free taster in most pubs.
The beer is a 5.2% ABV lager, which I was expecting to be bland fizz. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The fairly strong alcohol content provided a little flavour as expected, but it was the pleasant hops bite that really surprised me.
There is very little information about the beer on the can, but a quick scout around the interweb seems to indicate that it’s brewed by Societe des Brasseries du Maroc, which is an offshoot of Heineken brewing various Moroccan beer brands.
